Poker History - been playing 4.5-5 years. Don"t play online so much nowadays, but try to get to the G in Luton once or twice a week.
1st tournament - first live tournament was a media freeroll laid on for the opening of the "blonde poker" school (run by Dave Colclough and tikay) in early 2006. I"d won a seat at the event via a little competition on the blonde forum. Felt very intimidated as the field was full of pros, poker journos etc who were all treating it like a laugh, but I was bricking it. Remember getting dealt kc kd UTG first hand, shaking like a leaf and raising about 20x bb. Can"t believe I didn"t get any action
Somehow managed to take the thing down for $600, which was a massive amount to me at the time as I"d never played anything bigger than £1 sngs
.
Found APAT- via the blonde forum.
Biggest Live Cashes - £3k ish for winning a £150 festival side event at Luton a couple of years ago. several other four figure scores, but nothing big yet. Came within inches of being in a great position to take down the DTD deepstack a few months ago but the poker gods were not onside and it was a 10th place finish instead.
Biggest online cashes - $9k and change for finishing 2nd in a big field $10 rebuy last year. Again, several four figure sums, but yet to break that five figure barrier. Only usually play small buy ins online though.
WCOAP - oh I"m a bit out of date! Didn"t play the WCOAP as was otherwise engaged that weekend, but won a seat to the Luton event last night
